Math Study Strategy: Students often don't consider that studying math requires a different process than other subjects. This introductory strategy should be utilized as students go through the WebQuest process.
S.Q.3.R, M Survey Question 3R—Read, Recite, Review For Math: Survey— pre-view the material by reading the introduction and conclusion. Read through the examples provided. Identify and look up any new terms or theorems. Question—Think of some questions YOU have about the material. Where are you likely to get confused? What do you want (or need) to know about a problem or solution? Read—in order to find the answers to your questions. Write these answers down. Take notes, putting the formulas, etc. into your own words. Ask yourself: What concepts, formulas, rules were applied? How was the problem solved? (What methods used) What was the first step? The second step?.... Draw pictures to help you understand the problem. Recite—Go over the type of problem and try to verbalize (what if you were teaching this section? How would you explain it?) Pay attention to the process, not a specific answer. Putting the problem solving into your own words will help you remember what to do. Review—after a couple days break, go back to the material and make sure you remember. Can you see other ways to solve the problems? Go through the steps again for those areas that are difficult. List the ideas and formulas that are most important.
